Books are back! More and more people have started to turn away from reading online whether on their kindles, iPad or computer screens and have started turning pages – BPIF source indicates 2016/17 figure for books sold is 360,000,000 up by 7,000,000 in 2015/16. However, that doesn’t mean we’re all turning the page back a decade – it means book printers are printing books but at much shorter run lengths. Seeing the trend Zechini have come up with an answer in their new casemaker, the Zechini Roby Zero.

The MBO K8RS combi folding machine has enjoyed excellent sales figures in Europe. It was presented as the world's fastest folding machine as early as the end of 2013. What has happened in the meantime? Thanks to its high production speeds of up to 275 m/min, it is particularly well suited to finishing processes on large print runs. This means customers can profit from a considerably reduced turnaround time for their jobs.

German folder manufacturer MBO has launched the new MBO K80 combi folding machine and it will be showcased to the public for the first time at Baumann Label and Finishing Days this week from 27 to 29 June 2017 at Baumann in Solms. The K80 fits perfectly into the new product range of MBO combi folding machines for the 70 x 100 cm size range. At maximum output of 230m/min it closes the gap between the manual K70 and the K8RS, the world's fastest folding machine.
